Creative kids will love crafting a unique Halloween decoration that is certain to set a spooky scene! This mache pumpkin project is a great way to get the Halloween fun started and it’ll teach them all about making with mache.

The tutorial is designed for kids aged three years and over. They’ll have an expert Hobbycraft colleague showing them every step of the way, with a fantastic variety of craft materials provided in store to help them transform one spooky pumpkin – from googly eyes to tissue paper! There are so many ways to make something unique.

Whether kids have never made with mache before or they just love getting stuck in with this versatile craft, the workshop will be a fun way to embrace Halloween excitement.

All participants will walk away with pumpkins to put on display. Please note, you may need to allow for drying time.

Workshop suitable for ages 3+ years. All kids’ craft workshops require adult supervision. One ticket is required per child.  

Our workshop spaces in some stores are located in open areas, and we will endeavour to minimise interruption from other crafters.

  • 5/5 from Danielle Dawson, attended Oct 2026: Really enjoyed it with my step daughter simple well organised and we loved our craft!
  • 5/5 from Lauren Brown, attended Oct 2026: We attended the pumpkin paper mache event at the silverlink shop today. My daughter is 8 and really enjoyed the event. The staff members was lovely, explaining the steps the children had to take to make their pumpkin. Everything the kids needed was provided and were free to use whatever they wanted.
  • 5/5 from Catherine Hsieh, attended Oct 2026: We really enjoyed the paper mache activity! Instructor was patient and friendly. We’ll definitely go back for more workshops.
  • 5/5 from Marie Ridley, attended Oct 2025: Pumpkin paper mache. My children had a great time learning how to decorate a Pumpkin. There were loads of material options and it was good fun.
  • 5/5 from Chelsea Deplitch, attended Oct 2025: Lovely session with a very helpful host, my daughter loved making her Halloween Mache pumpkin, there was a lot of tissue paper colour choices with free rein to be creative.
  • 5/5 from Rachel Lever, attended Oct 2025: Kids really enjoyed this, messy so great not to have to do the clear up too.
  • 5/5 from Alison Coleman, attended Oct 2025: Always great fun. Finding out children’s names. No rush. Helped each child with confidence
  • 4/5 from Emily, attended Oct 2025: My daughter loved the pumpkin mache workshop and the final result was really great! The staff at Hobbycraft are lovely and our teacher Charis was friendly and helpful. Only downside is the space for the workshop can be a bit chaotic when all the grown ups are standing behind the kids chairs - there isn’t enough space and customers trying to get past when you’re negotiating glue and tissue paper isn’t ideal. The class itself was great though and we’ll still book another in the future.
  • 5/5 from Joanne Clapperton, attended Nov 2024: Great small relaxed session for kids. If your project isn’t finished by the end of the session you can finish it at home.
  • 5/5 from Olivia Loring, attended Oct 2024: Great little pumpkin class today. The kids absolutely loved it and the lady who was taking the class was lovely and super patient and friendly.

  • 5/5 from Sarah Gilby, attended Oct 2023: Sarah who took the class was lovely and so good with the children. We can’t wait to come back and do another class.
  • 5/5 from Angela Miller, attended Oct 2023: An enjoyable class, relaxing with no pressure. All materials provided and none of us felt guilty asking for more glue! Would definitely book another class.

  • 5/5 from Diane Coltman, attended Oct 2022: Fab session with Jess who was really friendly and chatty with the children. It’s great for the kids to make a mess when it’s not at home and I don’t have to clean up afterwards!
  • 5/5 from Ali Ayres, attended Oct 2022: Great Halloween crafting afternoon. The kids and adults enjoyed the activity. The colleague running the class was very helpful and great with all the children Would recommend
  • 5/5 from Victoria Mullin, attended Oct 2022: The lady hosting the workshop was very good and made it a very enjoyable experience. She was super kind and helpful, making sure the children all had a lovely completed pumpkin by the end of the session. She was super thoughtful when it came to getting clean at the end too and getting the crafts home in one piece. Thank you very much, she really made it a great session, she is a credit to hobbycraft and we very gratefully have some brilliant looking pumpkins on display at home now.
